This is interesting. We had a takedown request for a post on our njump. We do not host the content, it is pulled from relays using the note id, so it's a bit like blaming a browser for the content after you enter a URL. Any nostr legal council out there?

My guess would be that it's the responsibility of the relays who host it. But litigating that might get expensive.

They may not want to, but they are about to learn what Nostr is really quick

Not sure if legally relevant, but I'm curious: What exactly does njump do? Is there browser-side code that queries the relays directly? Or do the njump servers query the relays and then forward the response to the browser?

The power of decentralisation!!!! Your answer should be. "Dear sir even if I really really really wanted I can't remove this content "

I guess you're gonna have to put a blocklist on the site and put a "this mofo with a sensitive soul threatened me so I had to hide the content" disclaimer.

Can a German court order removal of content from a foreign server that is not operating a business in Germany? Never before, but this type of thing is in litigation right now between the UK Ofcom regulator and 4chan in the US.

It’s about the son of a former german finance minister. Not one single hit if you search the “German” internet 🤪

It's a bit like someone criticizing you for embedding nasty posts in your website. Yes, technically someone else is hosting it, but to the average user it looks identical to if you were hosting it yourself.

Ben, this sucks but it is not as much a legal home run as you may think. There is a thing called "Störerhaftung" which means even entities who simply relay/spread "unlawful information" (aggregators, search engines etc) can made to take the site off their index. To what extemd this applies here, I ...

Sounds very similar to what bitcoin trackers go through. They don't host the data but they facilitate the links to it. It's not 100% the same but very similar.

Just block all of Germany on that domain and link to the relevant court ruling?

I'm not an expert on German law, but I do deal with cross border contracts and disputes. depends on where you are, your website is hosted, etc. but if you're outside Germany then who gives a fuck what some Munich court ruled? they have no jurisdiction beyond German borders. although I think there is...

It happened several times to njump.me, but for CASM content. I usually briefly explained that njump is just a viewer for something hosted elsewhere, and then blocked the content. It's easy to understand that for media, but your case is different both for the nature of the content. and because it see...

So Germany wants to censor posts. I would just ignore it and continue with life.
